Title: New tying station
Post by: ChrisL on May 29, 2012, 01:23:11 PM: Built myself a tying station. I was previously working out a shoe box. The plan is to build a dedicated tying desk down the road, but for now it is an improvement.
It has a work surface for the vise and spinner. There's a carousel for flash materials. And storage for spools, bobbins, tools and liquids.
It measures about 24 x 18 inches, so its somewhat portable.

Post by: ChrisL on May 29, 2012, 02:04:02 PM: Not quite that portable. ::)

Except for the 3/16th dowel, I had all the lumber in the shop. So total cost was about $2 ;D. But even to do it all out of oak or maple, the cost of materials would be maybe $30-$40.

Spent a little time tying teasers yesterday and the layout worked well.

My down time might be over, but that's another story.
